Open and Closed

Open and Closed

The dreams of youth have passed away
I'd love to see what could have been
the loss of pain gives hope to many
I love the smell of dew on green
our children's lifes are not our's to use
the strangers touch is all I feel
but long since then I've not belonged
I dream of much but seldom heal

Pass on, pass on
open the door, I need to enter soon
pass on, pass on
all I need is in my eyes
whatever comes will have to wait

Too many dreams have been abused
the loss is what we have to take
I count the cost we have to bear
and pray to God it's not too late
the smallest flame still burn's as bright
I hope to learn the truth of life
a fear of things unknown rings true
when wishful thinking needs the proof

Pass on, pass on
open the door, I've been here too long
pass on, pass on
open the door, show me where I went wrong
